Roma Miss Three Penalties in Europa League Loss to Lille

AS Roma suffered a surprising 1-0 home defeat to Lille in the Europa League after missing three consecutive penalty attempts late in the game. The unusual sequence occurred after two of Artem Dovbyk's penalties were saved by Lille's goalkeeper Berke Ozer, but each had to be retaken due to encroachment by Lille players and the goalkeeper moving off his line early. On the third attempt, Roma switched penalty takers to Matías Soulé, but Ozer saved that penalty as well, denying Roma any chance to equalize. Lille had taken an early lead through Hakon Arnar Haraldsson's goal in the sixth minute, and that proved decisive. Roma's manager Gian Piero Gasperini expressed astonishment at the unprecedented event, highlighting the team's spirit despite the setbacks. The bizarre penalty incident was a key factor in Roma's loss and left a lasting impression on both teams and spectators.
